AR503 - Payment Conversion

AR503 (Payment Conversion) lets you convert payment records to the Lawson
Accounts  Receivable system from a file created by an external source. This
differs from AR570 (Lock Box Interface) and AR580 (Payment Interface). AR503
(Payment Conversion) adds existing payments that have updated balances and the
General Ledger in the external source. AR570 (Lock Box Interface) and AR580
(Payment Interface) add new payments. The Update Option is used to edit only
or edit and update the payment records. The program edits the external data to
protect the integrity of the Accounts Receivable data. The program creates a
report in payment number order that includes each field that failed an edit,
the field data, a description of the error, and totals for the number of
records processed, payments added, and total errors.
